Fred Allen runs a comic detective agency, and his secretary Miss Clues handles the calls that come in. A string of odd cases follows: a lion missing from a circus, a stolen city herring, a radio orchestra whose trumpet player has vanished during a broadcast, and a claim of an invisible man. Each client arrives with a complaint and Allen questions them with his usual wisecracks. The series is Fred Allen, first heard on CBS and NBC, and this installment aired on April 11, 1934. Fred Allen, Portland Hoffa, Kenny Delmar and Minerva Pious are the lead actors.
